Whippersnapper! 3,000 miles? THAT was modern luxury! I had to grease every zirk fitting, check the rotor, points & plug gaps; adjust valves & timing; and change the oil and clean the oil bath air cleaner every 1,000 miles.

That is also my understanding. Durablend has become hard to find around here so we moved a couple of vehicles over to Maxlife. No worries.

LOL...just foolin’. I get funny looks from the youngsters whenever I talk about party lines, or rotary dial telephones. “You had to stick your finger in a wheel on the phone, and spin it around? Your telephone number had letters AND numbers?”
